Open source OS Vs Closed


source OS
Open Source OS

Closed Source OS

- True-open-source development
requires that a community of
software engineers band
together to work on the
software.
-The idea is that more minds
create better software.

- Owned by someone (or some


organization) and distributed
through a variety of retail
channels including the owner's
website.
- If the program is in the form of
shareware, a fully functional
version of the program can be
installed and run.
- There may be a limited period
of time after which the software
will disable itself

Include source code for those


interested in peering into how
the program does what it does
and possibly contributing to the
development effort.

The source code is not usually


included. The buyer pays for the
right to use the program but
does not own it
